Lively Bait.

Some years ago a party of Detroit
ers went fishing from the Star Island
House on the St. Clair Flats. They
were jolly good fellows, and would
have been perfectly happy but,for one
drawback-they had no good bait
1t was the season for black bass and
they had neither chubs nor frogs with
which to tempt the fish-nothing but
the minnows, which they despised
What made it worse was the fact that
two Kentuckians who were stopping
at the house, had purchased aslot Of
desirable bait from a Frenchman
named Joe, and had been meeting
with phenomenal success all day.
Lets make raid on their worms,
suggested the doctor of the party.
"Id willingly pay them double for
their froggies," said the Colonel.
But the Kentuckians retired to
their rooms, and nothing more was
seen of them that day.
The next evening, the Detroit crowd
sat on the verandas and groaned over
the bad luck they had. They oil sat
in heap, tired and disconsolate, look
ing as solemn as a company of owls.
Presently mist began to spread. 1t
had nearly reached the Opaque stage,
when as one man the entire company
sprang to their feet and rushed out to
the board path. There every man
Topped on his knees and began to
grope distractedly. They fell over
each other in their haste. The rest of
the boarders at the Star Island House
rushed to the spot to see what was up.
Then the mystery was explained.
The walk was covered with baby
frogs 1t turned out that the Ken
tuckians had left, and their bait nos
ing the rain in the air, had come out.
Every man filled his pockets, his hat,
and, eventually, his boots with the
lively batrachians. But that was not
all of it.
A staid couple from Detroit were
assigned to the Kentuckians' rooms
that night. They knew naught of The
bait or frogs, but retired to peaceful
slumbers early in the evening. Soon
after the frog episode the whole house
was alarmed by piercing shrieks and
deep growls from the room Of the abb
sent fishermen. The landlord being

Frederick Was the Second.

Nature is very compensating mis-
tress. She often makes hunchbacks
witty, and thus distinguishes them
above better formed men. Moses
Mendelssohn, the philosopher, was
thus deformed, and the wittiest of
men. Frederick ii of Prussia, who
was fond of gathering about him lit
erary men, artists and singers, fire.
quently invited Mendelssohn to the
small suppers he gave at the palace.
In those days 0srmany was cut up
into a number of small Kingdoms and
dukedoms, the petty sovereigns of
which were naughty in proportion to
the smallness of their realms. An
ambassador of one of these small
kings happened to be present at one
of Frederick's suppers, when Mendel-
ssohn sat at the kings side.
The proud ambassador tried to chaff
The little hunchback, who, with his
quick wit, turned the tables at once
upon his adversary. The ambassador
subsequently made formal complaint
to the king against admitting the pie
beian into the royal circle.
"Mendelssohn was my guest, as you
were," answered the king. Gas you
provoked him, you should be willing
to accept theIconsequences."
"Oh, he is a man of no breeding ;
he would offend your majesty, if he
imagined that your majesty had Of
Tended him."
"No, he will never offend me-" re-
piled the king. Il would never give
him a reason for feeling hurt; but if
! did, he would never offend me-"
"Will your majesty, in order to
test him, at the next supper party
write on a piece of paper, 'Mendelss-
ohm is one ass, and sign it Frederick
the Second and put the paper on
Mendelssohn.s plate ?"
"That would be gratuitous insult.
l can't do it," .answered the king.
But his curiosity to see how the mat
ter would end, persuaded him to write
the paper. The evening came, the
table was laid for twelve, the paper
laid on Mendelssohn's plate, and the
other guests, informed of the trial,
assembled, eager to know the result.
Mendelssohn, being short sighted,
held the paper near his eyes, to read
it, and gave start.
"What is the matteri No unpleas-
ant news, hope," said the king.
ut is nothing" answered the philos-
opher.
II demand to know" said the king.
Nothing would not have made you
start. l command you to tell me-"

me" replied the wit calmly, 81 will
